READY TO NEGOTIATE.
The Fishery Commission Holds Its
First Meeting.
How and When the Work Will be
Carried Forward.
Secretary Bayard Says That No out
slider Can Learn What Is Done.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2i.-The Fisheries
Commission held its first meeting today in
the handsome diplomatic reception room at
the State Department. 1t was an informal
conference and lasted less than an hour. No
attempt was made to enter into discussion
of the fisheries controversy. The meeting
was held only TO arrange the line of pro-
cedure. 1t was resolved that the first meet
ing should be held tomorrow, at o'clock
Stenographers will not be employed. but an
outline record of the proceedings will be
kept by the secretaries. At the end OF every
session. all of the members will agree upon
and sign formal statement OF the result OF
the days work. Third Assistant Secretary
Moore and Mr.. Bergne were chosen as ofii-
cial secretaries. The frequency of the ses-
sions cannot be f6retold, but will depend en-
tirely upon the number OF obstacles In the
course Of the negotiations. 1t Is probable
that the negotiators will not attempt to pre-
scribe regular days for the meetings. but fix
the day for the next meeting at the conciu-
sion of each session. Perhaps the most i'm
portant conclusion reached today was res
olution unanimously adopted to keep the
proceedings of the negotiations secret, until
the conclusion of the work. The statement
is authorized by Secretary Bayard that any
article that may appear purp0rting to tell
what has been done at any meeting will be
entirely unauthorized and must be purest
speculation.

GOOD WORDS FOR MR.. REED.
Representative Bingham of PennsyI-
vania Speaks of the Coming Con-
gress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Representative
Il. III. Bingham of Pennsylvania, in speak
ing regarding the coming meeting OF Con-
gress, said: ''The session will be long and
interesting, and will carry much hard work.
Mr. Reed, of Maine, will be the Republican
caucus nominee for Speaker, if he desires
the honor, and the leader Of our side Of the
House. He is aggressive, quick, attentive to
the work, well up in general legislation,
fearless, clear in record, and the best all
around man in the House. Carlisle will
doubtless be elected Speaker. Hewill be
able to announce his committees before the
Christmas recess, which as a rule begins
about Dec 10th, and continues until Jan.
4th. OF course the tariff and surplus reye-
nue. are to be the great questions. The Re-
publicans will. think, endeavor to eliminate
revenue taxation. The tobacco tax will go.
II covers about twenty-eight millions.
"a reduction Of the trifiing internal tax
ON spirits will provoke a contest in which
party lines will not be observed. The ques-
tiOn of heavy ordnance fortif1cations and in
crease of war ships Will occupy much time,
and some legislation will be effected.
..Judge Kelley will be on the committee on
ways and means, and his general policy on
tariff LEGISLATION will be the basis or guide
which the Republican side of the House will
probably follow. One cent postage bills on
domestic letter matter will be introduced,
but nothing can be consummated ON this
subject at this Congress. Our letter rate OF
in the world, when we consider the distance
carried. An effort will be made to reduce
fourth-class mail matter, merchandise, from
16 cents pound to 8 cents, the rate of third
class matter"

Hunters and Their Prey.

above Houlton, while the balance was killed
not far from Nickatons and Burlington.
Sportsmen here from distance are very en-
thusiastic over the Maine shooting, and one
man declared that she who could not get
deer in this State must indeed Re a chump.'
Game Warden Allan of Dennysville says
deer have come down from the interior OF
Washington county in large numbers this
fall, undoubtedly seeking the salt marshes
near the coast, and that the woods about
Machias and Dennysville are well stocked
with them. Notwithstanding all this, deer
are not plenty in the markets, and there
seems to be good grounds for suspeeting that
some new and successful scheme is being
worked, whereby the animals are transport
ed to the Boston, Providence and New York
markets. Last season venison could be
bought low in this city, but this year few
are offered and the price by the carcass is
ouble the price of beef, although it is well
known many more are being killed than ever
before
